Racist Ad or not? you decide.

Black people might like chicken...White people love mayo.... Not a racist add, just some hippys trying to start a storm in a tea cup or in this case, bucket of finger licking chicken...KFC.

 

Notice how the guy was scared when he was surronded by the black people... and why didnt they add any white people ?? or even asians

 

It's an Australian cricket fan stuck in the West Indies fan section of the stands...

Race wasn't even considered by the makers of the advert. The real racists are the ones who had a problem with it.

 

Not racist, funny.

 

This wasnt intended to be racist, yet it could go either way.

By the way, the black people like chicken stereotype doesn't exist in Australia.

 

You could have a damn commercial with an equal amount of white people and black people and it would still be considered racist..

>_<

 

Why would it be a group of anything? Why not have the commercial diverse?

Just because your black doesn't mean you like chicken. And if a white person likes chicken, does it make them black? Why do you look at the world in black in white? I know blacks that don't like chicken, grape anything or watermelon, like me( I don't like watermelon).

It's always a possibility racism could be in a few. How is being upset over a stereotypical idea being racist?

That's being stereotypical saying all blacks are ignorant people who say everything is racist.



I could see how it would be thought as racist. But I do see 1 other white in the commercial though. It's puzzling. I wouldn't have even made a commercial with a stereotypical atmosphere.

 

Black people love chicken.

Tell me, where the racism is in that. It's called stereotyping

 

Meh, it's racist I suppose, but I don't see mass riots about it... all I see is more people talking about KFC. And some of those talking about KFC are sitting there saying "Hmmm... I could go for some KFC."

Advertising win.

 

Its racist but who the hell cares? Dam black people saying we enslaved them and shit, stfu no one cares. You dont hear a white person complaining about racism.

 

So in order to protect yourself from racism, you have to find a bunch of different races? Why do people have to be so soft. White people aren't.

 

They're stereotyping making it seem racist because everyone likes fried chicken but its always said that black people love it.

It would be the same as throwing some change in front of a jew and having them chase after every last one of them. Or something to the effect of what happened in Harold and Kumar 2 .

 

Funny ad, not racist.

 

I'm sorry people are opposed to being hated by racist. How many groups discriminate against whites?

How many groups have whites discriminated against? People call Blacks niggers, people call Hispanics beaners, people hate middle eastern people, people hate Jews. Whites are hardly ever discriminated, they're the ones discriminating.

That could be a key component.

 

This ad is making white people look like assholes.

 

I made a thread about this add and saying that americans have no sense of humour, I told you I was right...

Firstly, THEY ARE WEST INDIANS!!!!! not African americans. you guys are racist by thinking all black people are the same.

Secondly, Its an australian Add, and its about the cricket, and the west indians did NOT find it offensive at all... BECAUSE THEY ARNT NIGGERS!

Thirdly, If this add was aired in American then complain all you want, but to get an add pulled thats played in a different country were the stereotype's do not exist is abit homo.

 

This video makes Americans look like ignorant fools thinking every black person is an african american. If you knew anything about cricket you people would understand...

 

Although personally I do not think the ad is racist, its weird that the KFC advertising execs didn't think twice before putting that ad on TV.

 

Oh I saw this before this thread was made.

I don't think they made the ad with the intention to be racist lol. Maybe it's just they didn't think about people viewing it in that perspective. But still pretty funny nonetheless.

 

Heres what the article says.
"KFC is in hot water after an allegedly racist ad that ran in Australia. In the ad, a white man is surrounded at a Cricket match by a group of rowdy black people. The actor then holds up a bucket of chicken, which calms the crowd down. The ad obviously does not sit well with African Americans, who consider it to be stereotypical to offer black people chicken as if the meat can control us like a pack of wild animals. I still remember fuming over the ads that had MC Hammer dancing for chicken in the early 1990s."

For one thing, it says it was run in Australia, well if it upsets african AMERICAS they dont have much a say in what is or isnt acceptable, they obviously arnt form that country. That made me lol that they said african americans, when there bitching about an ad from Australia.

Btw, a bucket of kfc will calm any1 down, maybe they was trying to help a few brothers out (god knows they could use it), and pay them to do a commercial, you ought to be happy a white man helped out a black fella.

That post made you look like an ignorant shit head.

hahah well dont try to act like whites arnt hated by folks to.

"People" hate middle eastern folks because there all wacked out in the ehad with there crazy azz beleifs, folks hate jews because hitler said it was okay, whites are too discriminated against, if you take a white person and put them in a black neighborhood, it aint gona be all hunky dorey. so shutup with that bullshit that whites are loved, but they hate everyone else.

Rread these lryics from the great johhny rebel, there is alot of truth to them.

Quit your bitchin' nigger and just let things be

Quit your bitchin' nigger or you'll get your due
'Cause the Ku Klux Klan will come-a-callin' on you

For forty-somethin' years you've been raisin' all hell
And niggers that ain't enough

If you ain't happy, then what the hell do you want

Hey quit your bitchin' niggers and just let things be

Given by the government

And sometimes a little free rent
You just keep begging, takin' everything we've got
Well damn you nigger, don't you think it's time to stop

So quit your bitchin' niggers and just let things be
You're messin' up big time take it from me
Quit your bitchin' nigger or you'll get your due
'Cause the Ku Klux Klan will come-a-callin' on you

Lately you're yelling 'bout our rebel flag
Wantin' us to take it down
It represents our history and southern pride
And rebel blood on the grass
So go to hell nigger, I'm tellin' ya loud and clear
It ain't comin' down, the rebel flag is stayin' right here

Hey quit your bitchin' niggers and just let things be
You're messin' up big time take it from me
